Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a method of communication between a mobile terminal and an accessory.
  • the accessory in question can be any, typically a vibrator that replaces a buzzer to alert the carrier of the mobile terminal of what it is called, without making noise, or else even a headset microphone.
  • the accessory can also be a connection interface with a more complex peripheral organ, such as a microcomputer.
  • the object of the invention is to facilitate this communication while at the same time giving greater transmission capacities.
  • the radio transmission and reception system with which the mobile terminal exchanges with a base station of a public network to which it can connect.
  • the use of such a system presents two problems. First, it is important not to confuse this public network with spurious emissions. Second, and most importantly, the communication between a mobile terminal and a base station uses specific codings, in particular GMSK type codings for Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying which means frequency shift agility of the type to Gaussian minimum.
  • GMSK type codings for Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying which means frequency shift agility of the type to Gaussian minimum.
  • Such encodings require on reception a decoder of the same type for receiving and interpreting signals transmitted by a transmission modulator of the mobile terminal. This makes the receiving device excessively expensive accessory, such decoding requiring very complex signal processing means.
  • Patent application EP 0 830 044 presents such a system and is proposes to solve the first problem, that is to say that of interference with public network signals.
  • this solution fails to solve the second problem, and therefore has the disadvantage of complex system.
  • This terminal is characterized in that the second means are suitable to transmit this second information in cooperation with the modulator emission, by modulating a second carrier located in the range of normalized frequency, by pure sinusoids.
  • Figure 1 shows a mobile terminal 1 usable to set up works the communication method of the invention when it comes into contact with an accessory 2.
  • the accessory 2 comprises for example a headset microphone and / or a call alert buzzer.
  • the mobile terminal 1 includes only the means basic, in particular those necessary for telecommunications, and that the other means normally implemented in a mobile terminal are deported to one or more accessories. So the microphone and speaker may only be present on accessory 2 and not on mobile terminal 1.
  • the mobile terminal 1 exchanges information, over the air 3, with a base station 4 of a public or private network mobile phone.
  • the exchange of this information is done by modulating, by means of a transmission modulator contained in the mobile terminal 1, a carrier Fj located in a standardized frequency range.
  • a transmission modulator contained in the mobile terminal 1, a carrier Fj located in a standardized frequency range.
  • GSM range useful range between 880 MHz and 960 MHz
  • DCS useful range between 1710 MHz and 1880 MHz
  • PCS useful range between 1850 MHz and 1990 MHz
  • UMTS whose frequency is around 2200 MHz.
  • Range standardized includes the useful range plus overflows at the edges of useful range.
  • the idea of the invention is, from this point of view, that if a program 3 occurs in one of these standardized ranges of relationship between the mobile terminal 1 and base station 4, the frequency of a radio link 5 used by the mobile terminal to communicate with accessory 2 will be located in the same standardized frequency range. This way we avoid, by emissions not originally planned, making noise in standard ranges reserved for other communications. Furthermore, in choosing these frequency ranges, of course the entire mobile terminal will be kept as is. There will be nothing to change. Which also leads the reduction in the price of the terminal-accessory assembly.
  • FIG. 2 shows, in the context of a GSM-TDMA type application, a mode of exchange of a mobile terminal with a base station on the one hand and with accessory 2 on the other.
  • the mobile terminal receives during a time window 6 RX signals transmitted on a carrier Fp by the base station 4.
  • the mobile terminal is supposed to send TX signals to the base station 4.
  • the RX and TX signals are speech signals, or digital data.
  • the power level of the signals that the mobile terminal 1 is likely to send to base station 4 may vary. This level depends on the distance of the mobile terminal from the base station 4. This level is between a minimum level 9 and a maximum level 10.
  • the carrier frequency of the mobile terminal transmission in response sera Fj evolving in time according to a predetermined frequency plan.
  • the frequencies Fp and Fj are included in the standardized range. However the standardized range, according to standards, is separated into two bands: one first band is used for base station transmissions to the mobile terminal, and a second band is used for terminal transmissions mobile to the base station. So as not to disturb other mobile terminals that would be located near the mobile terminal 1, in its wireless relationship 5 with its accessory 2, the mobile terminal 1 will use a carrier frequency Fk located in the band allocated to emissions from mobile terminal 1 to base station 4: the frequency range Fj.
  • the emission level 11 of the mobile terminal in its relation 5 with accessory 2 will be lower than the minimum level 9. This will prevent base station 4 from being used by signals intended for accessory 2.
  • the mobile terminal 1 is called by the base station 4, this can, during time window 7 itself, send a signal at frequency Fk to accessory 2. Indeed at at the time of the call, window 7 is not used by the mobile terminal 1 for communicate with base station 4. Or if it is, it is with the expected frequency Fj different from Fk.
  • the modulator transmission of the mobile terminal is multi-carrier it can both converse with the base station 4 during window 7, on the carrier frequency Fj while it will converse with accessory 2 on the carrier frequency Fk. In these cases, Fk will be different from Fj.
  • emissions 5 to destination of accessory 2 are located during time windows 12 and 13 different from time window 6 and time window 7. It is also possible of course that more than one time window during a frame 8 of eight windows is used by the mobile terminal 1 for conversing with accessory 2. So on a frame of eight windows, up to six windows, apart from the reception window 6 and the transmission window 7, can be used to converse with accessory 2.
  • time windows will naturally be implemented, without any particular difficulty, simply because the mobile terminal is already equipped with a part of organs allowing the operating during time windows and on the other hand a program in its operating system allowing operation during selected windows. Quite simply, in the case of the conversation with accessory 2, the program will be modified so that one, two or six windows can be used in connection with accessory 2. We can see that by doing so, nothing changes in the mobile terminal, if not the content of the program. This content additional program can be saved once and for all. He ... not causes a minimum additional memory occupancy, and between very easily in the space still available in program memory of a mobile terminal.
  • Figure 3 shows in summary what is best today in the field of mobile terminal modulators, in particular multi-carrier modulators.
  • a signal to be transmitted having previously undergone compression, redundancy, channel or other encodings is available in digital form at the output of a generator 14. It will be spectrally synthesized.
  • An encoder 15, in particular of the GMSK type receives the bits of the signal to be transmitted and, according to previous bits of the same signal (in a simplified example, we will take 2 previous bit times), produces coded signals, symbols, resulting from a linearization of the modulation over a given period of time (in the 3-bit example). Coding might be different from GMSK encoding. Again, a coding equivalent would be implemented leading to output signals from the modulator difficult to interpret.
  • the bit streams of generator 14 including coding by coder 15 causes modulation by a pure sine signal from the carrier resignation.
  • the signal bits are delivered by generator 14 at a frequency of 13/48 MHz (equal approximately 270 KHz).
  • the encoder 15 delivers the symbols to this same rhythm.
  • a conversion table 16 then delivers samples of instantaneous frequency corresponding to the symbols produced by the encoder 15.
  • Accumulator 17 adds a received sample to its own content, and reinjects everything on one of its two entrances.
  • the accumulator 17 therefore produces a phase instant evolving regularly.
  • the frequency value instantaneous is normalized to correspond to a phase difference which is would occur during an oversampling period.
  • the oversampling rate must be greater than the maximum frequency synthesized so as to avoid aliasing specters.
  • the maximum frequency synthesized is 26 MHz. This maximum frequency corresponds to 64 bands of 200 KHz (i.e. 12.8 MHz) multiplied by two to satisfy the Nyquist criterion. We choose in this case an oversampling rate of 4, leading to a frequency of 104 MHz oversampling.
  • the signal available on the aerial 27 will be a modulation by a pure sinusoid, or having at least one strong spectral component of modulation by a pure sinusoid.
  • the signal available on the aerial 27 will be a modulation by a pure sinusoid, or having at least one strong spectral component of modulation by a pure sinusoid.
  • figure 4 it suffices to place in accessory 2 a very simple receiver.
  • This will naturally include a overhead 29 in connection with a mixer 30 which receives a signal in from a local oscillator 31.
  • the local oscillator 31 will be an oscillator set at a frequency Fk, corresponding to a predetermined frequency transmitting signals to accessory 2.
  • a low-pass filter 32 At the mixer outlet 3 will be arranged a low-pass filter 32.
  • the cut-off frequency of the filter 32 will be determined so that this filter can be used for a circuit 33 of envelope detection.
  • the circuit 33 will for example include simple a diode in series 34 and a capacitor in parallel 35.
  • the circuit 33 is a rectifier circuit delivering at its output 36 a state one or zero depending on whether the filter 32 will have let or will not let pass products of demodulation from mixer 30.
  • Figure 5 shows how to generate modulation signals by a pure sinusoid of a carrier frequency in the modulator of the figure 3.
  • the generator 14 produces an alternating succession of ones and zeros or a succession of zeros.
  • Fk carrier frequency
  • the generator 14 produces alternating successions of couples of one and couples of zero
  • the frequency Fk will be modulated by a pure frequency of 25 KHz.
  • the signal available at the output of mixer 26 will be a signal at +67.7 KHz or at -67.7 KHz.
  • the resulting phase inversion also depends on the state of the phase encoder 15 when it receives the signals from the generator 14. If an envelope detector is adopted as the reception in accessory 2, the distinction between +67.7 KHz and -67.7 KHz may have little interest. By choosing a different receiver we can use this difference. In particular, it suffices to have a local oscillator 31 producing a signal at Fk - 67.7 KHz. In this case the demodulated signal in baseband oscillates either at 135.4 KHz or 0.4 MHz depending on the signal issued. It can also be discriminated by an envelope detector and a suitable filter.
  • the duration of a symbol bit is around 3.7 microseconds.
  • filter 32 especially when the signal modulating by a pure sinusoid is a signal to 25 KHz, it will then be necessary to transmit the modulated carrier for at least 40 microseconds for filter 32 to receive full waveform alternation at 25 KHz.
  • the translation in terms of modulation on the signal emitted by the aerial 27 will be a modulation by a signal evolving according to a pure sinusoid.
  • the filter 32 and the detector envelope 33 into a filter 37 and an envelope detector 38.
  • one of the two filters 32 and 37 is provided to cut the frequencies located in intermediate position between the two sinusoidal modulation frequencies pure restraint.
  • the low pass filter 32 will have a frequency of cut off 45 KHz while the low-pass filter 37 will have a frequency of cutoff less than 15 KHz.
  • This filter 32 will then pass the signals to 25 KHz but will block signals at 67 KHz. If necessary we can provide high pass filters instead of low pass filters.
  • Oscillator 25 could thus be a frequency oscillator intermediate (of the order of 100 MHz) or an oscillator at a frequency of transition (equal to the transmission frequency Fj plus or minus the frequency intermediate).
  • a local oscillator 25 is normally stabilized from of a quartz as follows.
  • a quartz circuit 39 produces a signal at 13 MHz.
  • a divider 40 located at the output of the divider 39 divides this signal by 65 to produce a signal at 200 KHz.
  • the frequency of 200 KHz is typically the modulation width of a frequency Fj (or Fk) of transmission by the terminal mobile. It is also the difference which separates two carrier frequencies Fj and Fj ' related.
  • the signal delivered by the divider 40 is then introduced into a comparator 41 which controls in voltage the oscillator 25.
  • a divider 42 takes the signal at the output of the local oscillator 25, divides it by a coefficient chosen, and reinjects it on another input of comparator 41.
  • Such a circuit has the effect that the signal delivered by the oscillator 25 is a multiple, by the chosen coefficient of divisor 41, of the bandwidth (200 KHz) of the feedback loop.
  • divider 40 and / or the divider 42 can be designed in the form of up-down counters by 65 (or others).
  • 65 or others.
  • the modulation frequency available in transmission is a selected frequency, for example 67 KHz, itself modulated by the binary states delivered by bus 45.
  • these states binaries are zero in which case the signal received in receiver 29-38 is a signal at a single frequency of 67 KHz. Either these binary states are different from zero and evolve over time.
  • Oscillator 25 is then altered by operation and the signal resulting from the modulation at 67 KHz is shifted to one or more other values.
  • the encoder 15 required 20 symbols to that at the time of reception we can detect a signal at 25 KHz, as much a duration corresponding to 10 symbols will be sufficient in the event that the modulating frequency is 67 KHz.
  • the flow can even go up to 16 bits during a time window 12, 7 or 13 of 577 microseconds.
  • the microprocessor system of the mobile terminal 1 must put binary states on bus 45 with a rate of sixteen states per time window. Note that with this last solution the flow is higher without the need for another chain Envelope detector 37, 38.
  • the carrier frequency Fk is chosen at a frequency located in the normalized range, outside the useful band, but less than 5% of the edge useful tape.
  • the frequency Fk usable with the oscillator room 31 we can plan to pair accessory 2 with the mobile terminal factory. We therefore provide accessory 2 with a local oscillator 31.
  • the local oscillator 31 does not need to be adjustable. Just measure how often, in the standard emission range selected, it is likely to produce. In these conditions with mobile terminal 1, given that the latter has a possibility of significant exploration of the entire emission range that it is likely to have to ensure, one can choose that of the frequencies Fj of this mobile terminal which, modulated by a signal at a pure frequency as said above can lead filters 32 and 37 to discriminate the presence of a signal at this pure frequency.
  • the adder 28 receives from the system to microprocessor of the mobile terminal of the signals corresponding to Fk when it to communicate with the accessory.
